This is the main board on The Outhouse, where Outhousers talk about everything. No topics are off limits, and it doesn't have to be about comics. All the topics from the other boards also show up in The Asylum, so you never have to leave1

precision and accuracy go together.

Precision is when your results are grouped together, like throwing darts on a dart board and they all land in the same region. Accuracy is when those darts land in the center of the dartboard where you should be aiming. So obviously the closer you are to the center of the dartboard the more accurate your throws are.

even if we ignore that sciences have specific definitions for precision and accuracy and instead choose to use them as interchangeable terms it doesn't suddenly mean that there are not degrees of accuracy.

- Continuity is or it is not. There is no such thing as soft continuity.- A character IS his continuity.- Continuity is consistency of the characteristics of people, plot, objects, and places seen by the reader or viewer.
